KEY GAME INFORMATION

NEW YORK: GUARDS: RAYMOND FELTON is still the best the Knicks can do at point guard. With his shortcomings in the half court, head coach Mike Woodson's desire to go up-tempo should play to Felton's skill set a little bit better . . . IMAN SHUMPERT should be ready for a slightly bigger role. He's their best perimeter defender and a good enough spot-up shooter to play off Carmelo Anthony . . . J.R. SMITH's offseason knee surgery is a bit of a concern, as is the fact that he's no longer in a contract year. Still, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year should light it up on many nights . . . PABLO PRIGIONI will be Felton's primary back-up. He disappears at times, but can at least knock down threes . . . BENO UDRIH will provide quality backup minutes after another solid year seeing big minutes in Orlando'TIM HARDAWAY JR. is likely looking at a redshirt year in 2013-14. FORWARDS: Last year was CARMELO ANTHONY's dream offense, with lots of isolation plays. With his improved three-point shot, Melo should make a run at a second-straight scoring title . . . ANDREA BARGNANI might start by default, but he's more suited to a part-time role as a one-dimensional floor spacer . . . Expect to see a lot of lineups with either Anthony or METTA WORLD PEACE at the four. MWP is still good enough defensively to justify his erratic shot selection . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE will likely be limited to a part-time role due to injuries. He'll try to re-invent himself as a second-unit scorer . . . KENYON MARTIN will be counted on to play some four and five off the bench . . . Athletic rookie C.J. LESLIE is ticketed for the D-League. CENTERS: TYSON CHANDLER will be relied on heavily on the glass for what could be the weakest rebounding team in the NBA. The Knicks would like to keep his regular-season minutes down, but they may be forced to play him a lot if they're going to get home court in a first-round playoff series . . . The Knicks will try to develop JEREMY TYLER into a useful No. 2 center.

PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: Welcome to Tankadelphia. MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS will be handed the reigns at the point, and has the size and savvy to create some offense. But a work-in-progress jumper and too many risky passes will lead to plenty of lost possessions . . . The Sixers would love to unload perennially disappointing ex-No. 2 pick EVAN TURNER. He's yet to develop a jump shot, and while he'll start for a laughably thin Philly team, he looks more and more like a second-unit player . . . JAMES ANDERSON could end up playing a lot of minutes off the bench, simply because the Sixers don't have enough NBA-caliber players . . . JASON RICHARDSON will miss at least half the season after major knee surgery. He may never contribute in the NBA again'TONY WROTEN could see the floor plenty as a high-upside player who must cut down on his turnovers and improve his jump shot. FORWARDS: THADDEUS YOUNG will likely step up as the No. 1 option, and he very well may be the only player on this team that would make a rotation of a playoff contender. We'll see what he can do with defenses focused on stopping him . . . LAVOY ALLEN will be leaned on for heavy minutes as one of their few proven players . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE might end up with a very big role this year, as the Sixers are especially lacking post players. He at least rebounds and gets in people's way defensively . . . Philly will try its hand with ROYCE WHITE, who has plenty of talent but just as much baggage. He and the Rockets couldn't see eye-to-eye with how to manage his anxiety issues . . . TIM OHLBRECHT might actually see the court on this team. CENTERS: SPENCER HAWES should start at center, especially early. His mid-range shooting makes him one of the few offensive options on this team . . . Coming off a torn ACL, NERLENS NOEL probably won't be ready until December. He should contribute as a rim protector and rebounder, but will be pushed around and doesn't have much on offense . . . KWAME BROWN is waiting for his contract to be bought out.

After Phil Jackson acknowledged a rousing ovation with a wave in his first game as team president, the New York Knicks gave the fans something else to cheer about during another victory.

There hasn't been too much to get excited about in Philadelphia with the 76ers free-falling toward NBA history.

The Knicks hope to keep moving toward a playoff spot with their eighth straight win Friday night when they visit a Philadelphia team looking to avoid its 23rd straight defeat.

Jackson met with coaches and players early Wednesday, then watched from a seat above center court as New York (28-40) continued its surge with a 92-86 victory over Eastern Conference-leading Indiana.

Carmelo Anthony finished with 34 points, Amar'e Stoudemire scored 21 and Tyson Chandler added seven with 14 rebounds. The Knicks' seven straight victories are their most since a 13-game winning streak late last season.

They're still hopeful of securing a postseason berth as they trail eighth-place Atlanta by four games in the East.

"There's energy in the city. Bringing Phil back is huge for this franchise I think," coach Mike Woodson said of Jackson, who won two titles with New York as a player before winning 11 as a coach. "But I've got to give a lot of credit to those guys in the locker room too, because again, we're battling."

The Knicks averaged 114.5 points on 51.0 percent shooting while winning six straight against non-playoff teams by double digits. But they found a different way to extend the run Wednesday, holding Indiana to 5-of-23 shooting from 3-point range and 42.5 percent overall.

Stoudemire has elevated his play, scoring 18.0 per game - 6.9 above his season average - while playing in seven of the past eight. He's averaged 21.4 points on 73.7 percent shooting (42 for 57) in his last five meetings with Philadelphia.

The 76ers (15-53) certainly don't appear to be much of a threat after their slide continued Wednesday with a 102-94 loss to visiting Chicago. They're four losses shy of matching Cleveland's NBA record of 26 consecutive defeats set in 2010-11.

Thaddeus Young finished with 24 points, Tony Wroten added 17 and Michael Carter-Williams scored 16 as Philadelphia lost its 17th straight at home to move closer to Dallas' record 19-game slide in 1993-94.

"There is just no inch for error," said coach Brett Brown, whose club hasn't won since beating Boston 95-94 on the road Jan. 29. "There's no wiggle room at all."

The 76ers have averaged 95.0 points and shot 41.3 percent while allowing 112.6 per game on 49.1 percent shooting during the 22-game skid, but they've given the Knicks some trouble despite dropping two of three meetings.

Young and Carter-Williams had 19 apiece to help Philadelphia pull out a 110-106 win in New York on Jan. 22. Carter-Williams then finished with 23 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for his second triple-double March 10, but Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 28 to help the Knicks escape with a 123-110 home win.

Dating to his time with Denver, Anthony has averaged 18.7 points while shooting 36.0 percent in his last seven trips to Philadelphia. He had 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in a 102-92 victory there Jan. 11.
